Business Spotlight: Tailored Care LLC
BY COLIN HEFFINGER
Growing older doesn’t have to come at the cost of leaving your home. Serving families of Delaware from Wilmington to Ocean View, Tailored Care LLC delivers personalized in-home health care driven by a commitment to quality CARE through Compassion, Accountability, Respect, and Excellence. By creating a partnership with customers at every step to coordinate and identify the strategy that best serves their unique needs, Tailored Care LLC ensures family members can continue living on their own and spend time with their loved ones.
Founded in 2020 during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Tailored Care LLC began when its CEO and founder, Tabitha Cephas, identified a need in Delaware communities. “I realized that because of the pandemic, families were unable to spend time with their loved ones in care,” explains Cephas. “I had already established my licensing and business, but took the real step forward when I understood how I could touch the lives of others by helping loved ones stay at home with their families.”
With more than 20 years of experience as a registered nurse leader and health care executive, Cephas was wellprepared to lead her first business providing care. Just a couple of years after its establishment, her dedicated team quadrupled from five members to 20. Today, she leads Tailored Care LLC with more than 100 health care professionals sharing the same vision of high-quality, patient-centered care.
In honor of the brand name, Tailored Care LLC stands out by tailoring its services to each family. Employees are matched with a consumer based on interests and broad career experiences across social work, nursing, accounting, engineering, and a variety of other fields to create a meaningful connection. From there, employees can provide different levels of support with daily activities, transportation, and companionship to best fit each family’s needs.
The other side of Tabitha’s vision is to create a positive impact on her employees’ lives by developing a culture that regularly supports and empowers them. Staff members are provided with education and mentorship, as well as opportunities to involve their own families through seasonal events. Additionally,
by matching employees with the families they relate to most, Tailored Care LLC strengthens their career impact as they support their communities.
“I’ve been in Delaware since I was five years old,” Cephas reflects on the topic of starting and operating her business in Delaware. “I’m thankful that our state is incredibly welcoming for small businesses to easily reach out and acquire the support they need. Why relocate and serve other areas when I can give back to the people I’ve known and worked with in our local communities? Why not instill something different by supporting the people right here in our backyard?
I’m enthusiastic about continuing to network and partner with local businesses as we work together to advocate for the First State.”
